Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (PLIF) 1 Level

Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (PLIF) 1 Level is available through Mark Cuban Companies Health Plan at a published cash price, paid when you book.

Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (PLIF) is a surgical procedure used to treat various spinal conditions by fusing together two or more adjacent vertebrae in the lumbar spine. This comprehensive approach involves accessing the spine through an incision in the back (posterior approach), allowing surgeons to remove the damaged intervertebral discs and insert bone grafts or synthetic spacers into the disc space. Additionally, metal implants such as screws, rods, or cages may be used to stabilize the spine and promote fusion. PLIF can be performed at different levels of the lumbar spine, depending on the specific spinal pathology and the extent of the patient's condition. By restoring disc height, realigning the spine, and promoting bone fusion, PLIF aims to alleviate symptoms such as back pain, nerve compression, or spinal instability, thereby improving overall spinal function and quality of life for patients.
